Take a short-form topic through to a storyboard

Take this topic through to a storyboard. **Stop after each stage and wait for me to pick.**

**Stage 1 — Hooks.** Five opening lines, each a different angle. For each, what the first frame shows. *The first second decides everything; treat the visual hook as seriously as the words.* Then stop.

**Stage 2 — Script.** From the hook I choose. Spoken lines with timing. Mark where the payoff lands — short-form fails by putting it too late. Then stop.

**Stage 3 — Shot list.** Per shot: duration, what is visible, what moves, camera. Keep shots under a few seconds. Then stop.

**Stage 4 — Generation blocks.** Each shot as a prompt block: style, character lock, location, action by second, camera, prohibitions. English.

Rules:
- *Do not run all four stages in one reply.* The point of stopping is that stage 2 is worthless if the hook is wrong.
- Match length and pacing to the platform I named.
- No on-screen text in generation blocks; captions are added in editing.
- Do not invent facts about the topic. If the script needs a claim I did not give you, mark it for me to fill.
